Notes

• Running Decon Gel Scene Appearances: T’Pol (2), Trip (2), Hoshi (1), Malcolm (1). No scene this episode.
• The third of ten episodes of Enterprise directed by Voyager’s Roxann Dawson.
• Dawson also voiced the repair station’s main computer, but was not credited for that.
• This episode directly follows on the events of the prior, but is not intended to be a two parter.
• This episode was nominated for an Emmy Award for “Outstanding Special Visual Effects For A Series”.
• The station’s medical regenerator was a rework of the Exocomp prop from TNG’s “The Quality of Life“.
• Similarly, the diagnostic room main prop was a reuse of the AI system from Voyager’s “Think Tank“. It had already been used in other Voyager episodes, too – “Flesh and Blood” and “The Voyager Conspiracy“.
• A reference to damage Enterprise had in the show’s pilot is made here.
• Ensign Mayweather has a model of the Nomad probe (in its original form) from TOS’s “The Changeling” in his quarters.
• The episode ends implying there could be a followup as the station had begun repairing itself as the final shot.
